How do you pronounce these three very common words?

I’m a little shaky on IPA, & I’m using Wikipedia’s markup symbols some of which I may have misread, but English orthography is pretty much vague, so here:

successful: |sʌk ˈsɛs fl| (but there’s not really a rest between the first two syllables so I’m not sure where to put the accent mark–I suppose could attach the |k| to the |s| sometimes.)

acceleration: |ək ˌsɛl ə ˈɹei ʃən| (heading toward something like |æk ˌsɛl œ ˈɹei ʃʌn| if emphasized–but the first “a” could be an |ɛ| or even dropped)

eccentric: |ɛk ˈsɛn trɪk| , sometimes schwa-ing or dropping the first vowel.

Raised on radio. That is, sort of a suburban educated southern Missouri with Iowa & Ohio influences, then a lot of overlay from standardized North American & International English forms.

Or in short, sort of a nerdy midwestern.

ETA: I may agree with the poster who says it’s an “x.”

I have also heard “flaccid” with no |k| & seem to have been taught to say it that way.

Dropping the |k| from “acceleration”, “successful”, & “eccentric” sounds something I’ve heard but don’t do. I don’t correct people if they do, it’s just an odd thing that sounds like a not-like-me cultural marker. I wouldn’t marry a woman who did it.

Drumroll is 8 miles out of Hell. You can’t miss it. Trumpet Flair is 60 miles from Ypsilanti by seaplane. By car, it’s 302 miles. Incredible walleye fishing there. :smiley:

Do they also pronounce “accessories” as “assessories”? I’ve heard the latter on TV a few times.
